Bold Beginnings, K.K. Duvivier

However, legal writing should start with a conclusion. The audience of a legal writer consists of critics and skeptics, whether they are partners, opposing counsel or judges. They have neither the time nor patience to try to decipher a writer's conclusion.

Visual and vocal clues are natural forms of human communication. In most instances, the electronic media, which provide instant visual and vocal information, are more efficient and compelling tools for communication than the written word. It is little wonder that we have become a "video" society. With additional technological advancements in electronic communication media, the ability to write may be of little use to the average citizen of the twenty-first century.
The Economics Of Discrimination: The Three Fallacies Of Croson, Martin J. Katz
The Economics Of Discrimination: The Three Fallacies Of Croson, Martin J. Katz
Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship
In Part I, this Note examines the effects of discrimination in the marketplace to suggest a connection between current racial disparities" and past "no-fault" discrimination. Part II demonstrates why race-neutral policies are likely to prove ineffective for reducing these disparities.

Preventive Law And The Legal Autopsy: For Legal Profession As A Whole, It's A Learning And Research Tool, Robert M. Hardaway
Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship
The legal autopsy can be a careful learning and research tool, not only for the individual practitioner, but for the legal profession as a whole. A complete (or "horizontal") autopsy which includes an investigation of both sides of a case can be expensive and time-consuming to prepare. In many cases, practical consideration may dictate a more limited (or "vertical")-but also useful-autopsy investigating only one side of the case.

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship
Although other areas of natural resources law have been hit by hard times, the environ- mental area is burgeoning.

Further- more, much of the fuel that drives CERCIA lit- igation is the presumption by many clients that their attorney fees are costs that can be re- covered as response costs under section 107 of CERCLA. 42 U.S.C.
